Demonstration of Whispering-gallery-mode Resonant Enhancement of Optical Forces

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA623721 | Open PDF

Abstract:

We experimentally studied whispering-gallery modes WGMs and demonstrated resonance enhancement of optical forces evanescently exerted on dielectric microspheres. We showed that the resonant light pressure can be used for optical sorting of microparticles with extraordinary uniform resonant properties that is unachievable by conventional sorting techniques.
